MusicRadar hands-on: Moog DFAM
The drummer from another mother
Simon Arblaster and Future Music Editor, Si Truss bring the beatdown with Moog’s Eurorack-friendly percussion synthesizer.
The perfect pairing to the Mother-32, not to mention anything else with patch-points, the DFAM adds to Moog’s growing range of semi-modular devices.
If you’re looking for a straight-up x0x-style drum machine then jog-on, because you won’t be getting any of that here. Instead, the DFAM exudes esoteric noise with superior low-end weight and pitchable tones suited to practically every genre known to humankind, as long it has roots in techno.
Check out full reviews of the DFAM and Mother-32 now.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
